Morning Meeting of 5 December 1969
ADD/I presented the first in a series of weekly briefings on the
status of SALT negotiations.
Godfrey reported that the Agency is closely watching recent
unusual developments in Hanoi which suggest that there may be an
internal security problem.
Godfrey informed the Director that prospects for the survival
of the present Italian government through the end of the year appear
better than even.
D/ONE noted that recent efforts to reduce the number of copies
of NIEs distributed in the community are being offset by supplementary
requests for additional copies. The Director noted that the Agency
should judge each special request on its merits but said that supple-
mentary requests for copies should be signed by the head of the requesting
intelligence agency. D/ONE also expressed concern over DOD dis-
semination of the NIPPs to Service Schools and Field Commands.
DD/S invited attention to a very complimentary article on the
Director in the Northern Virginia Sun.
DD/S requested guidance on the handling of the Vice President's
visit to Headquarters on 9 December. The Director said that the pro-
gram should be low key and businesslike and should be limited to a
luncheon and briefing. The Director also requested that all brief ers
be alerted to be well prepared for their presentations.
DD/S reported that the Civil Aeronautics Board has requested
a briefing by the Agency on the Air America complex.
The Director instructed to alert Carver to give a ten-
minute report on his impressions of Vietnam to the 8 December
Morning Meeting.

Agency programs.
